Description

This is a single 10 minute luminance image taken on May 24 04:39 UTC.
I removed the stars except the SN to highlight just the galaxy and Super Nova.
While this image is far from being scientific with my processing, it does show just how bright Super Novas are in relation to their host galaxies.
This is a crop of a 925mm FL image taken with my WO FLT-132, QHY268M, Antila UV/IR cut filter riding a 10 Micron GM2000 mount (unguided).
I did the following processing,
Calibrated the data with dark and flat frames.
Cosmetic correction.
DBE.
BlurXterimator.
NoiseXterimator.
GAME script to put masks over the core and SN.
StarXterminator.
Histogram transformation applied.
3DPlot script invoked.
